Hunting season is right around the corner. How about something with a deer on it for our next challenge.

Lol! I thought about going for a live deer or turkey, but I thought I would be making it too difficult. These quicker turnarounds are much more exciting than a dead game for weeks or months on end.This one does NOT count either. The threat of rain passed and wanted to change rear shock preload. I look up and there's a doe. They like supervising me, someone needs to.

Thankfully something smarter than you is supervising 😂This one does NOT count either. The threat of rain passed and wanted to change rear shock preload. I look up and there's a doe. They like supervising me, someone needs to.
Smarter than me, well I think that pile of rocks has me by a couple of IQ points.
Just anything with a deer, guys! Signs, posters, stickers, statues, or grill marks all work!
The deer seem to be used to vehicles for the most part around here. I have just been stared at by some riding by at times.
I thought it would be a cool shot to have a live one with the bike. Guess I'll have to settle for a sign.
Here are two. Take your pick.

Next, let’s make it an easy one. Your bike next to a Historical Marker. Preferably one that means something special to you.
Took this in Marietta Ohio after riding 555 (The Triple Nickel) for the first time.

If you have been in Mound Cemetery or walked around at Camp Tupper Park in Marietta, Ohio, you have seen a major feature of the Marietta Earthworks. They are remnants of the vast Hopewell civilization which flourished from 100 BC to 500 AD in the eastern U.S. These impressive structures were...

This got me started researching the Ancient cultures that I had never heard of or learned about in school. There were lots of burial and effigy mounds in the US from Texas all the way to Ohio and WV. Most of the mounds have been lost to I guess some would say progress. We have lost some of the most ancient site's in North America and most people don't know anything about it. Cahokia near St. Louis was the largest group of mounds and largest group of people.
So enough of the history lesson and next how about Something Native American. Bonus points if you can find a mound.
Does a Casino count as "Something Native American"?
Not exactly what I was thinking but it would work. Lol
Works for me!

About a year after we moved to the Cincinnati area we checked out serpent mound after I heard about it from an archeologist that was on the JRE podcast. Was definitely interesting, and also just the landscape in that area was interesting.Took this in Marietta Ohio after riding 555 (The Triple Nickel) for the first time.
This is special to me because two years ago when I was doing my Saddle Sore 1000 around Ohio, I rode near the Serpent Mound. I had no idea what it was but after I got back I looked into it. I took my family to see what the Serpent Mound was and it amazed us. A 1300' long Serpent about 3' high with parts of it aligned to the Solstices and Equinoxes. It's debated how old it is, some artifacts found in near by burial mounds date to 400bc and parts of the Serpent are dated 1000ad.Marietta Earthworks - Washington County CVB
